Generation Isolation 2025 mostra giovani sempre più online ma meno connessi dal vivo. AI usata, ma poco fidata. Servono spazi reali. @OnSideYZ #GenerationIsolation #AI #Giovani https://t.co/H2rIM6Egn6

#GenerationIsolation shows that youth clubs play a vital role in enabling young people to build rich social lives, develop skills & build resilience. We aim to raise aspirations, improve wellbeing, enhance prospects & help young people be the best possible version of themselves.

5,000 young people aged 11-18 were asked about their lives outside of school and their perception of opportunities available to them. An astounding 84% of young people in the North West stated that attending a youth centre has positively impacted their lives #generationisolation

The Hive has supported many of Wirral’s young people to make friends, gain vital youth worker support, and participate in engaging & fun activities. All for just a £5 annual membership and 50p per visit. A hot meal for £1 ensures no young person goes hungry. #generationisolation

Our #GenerationIsolation research found that of those young people who go to a youth club, 83% said they've learnt new skills - yet only 9% of young people attend a youth club. There needs to be more spaces for young people to learn and access opportunities. #WorldYouthSkillsDay

@OnSideYZ and its growing network of youth zones are calling for more recognition of the vital role of youth centres, which provide young people with opportunities to socialise, make friends and build valuable life skills. #generationisolation #morethanayouthclub

How important do you think out of school activities are for young people? Our #GenerationIsolation report found 26% of young people have had to stop out of school activities because of the cost of living. All young people deserve affordable spaces to learn skills and socialise.

“The need for Youth Zones has never been greater…As part of our #GenerationIsolation survey one thing comes back year after year - children want something to do and somewhere to go.” Charles Mindenhall, Chair, OnSide #OnSideSummit

@OnSideYZ and a network of youth zones, just like The Hive, believe passionately that face-to-face social connections with peers build young people’s confidence, self-esteem, resilience, empathy and communication skills – supporting their health and wellbeing #generationisolation
